Fiorentina take on the visitors Juventus “Stadio Artemio Franchi” in the round 24 of the Italian Serie A. The match will be played in Florence on Friday, February 9th.
Fiorentina do not impress in this season. At the moment the club is sitting on the 11th place in the elite division table with 31 points taken after 23 encounters behind, keeping weak chances to qualify to the UEFA Europa League for the next season. The team’s offense demonstrates rather decent statistics, having scored 33 goals already just like its defense which has conceded 29 goals so far. However, “Viola” shows quite effective football in face of their supporters, having scored in 10 out of 11 home clashes. It should also be mentioned that both rivals have scored in five latest clashes with Fiorentina’s participation.

After the unsuccessful and disastrous start of the season, Juventus have managed to improve the situation. At the moment the team settles on the second position in the Serie A standings with 59 points gained after 23 clashes played, being just one point behind the leading Napoli. “La Vecchia Signora” has magnificent offense which has scored 59 goals already and that is the best result in this season’s Serie A, however, its defense is remarkably tough as well with only 15 goals conceded. By all means, it should be noted that Juventus have not conceded a single goal in six recent battles.
Fiorentina and Juventus are the principal opponents which have been rivalled for a long time already. Still, the visitors may try to save their forces in the upcoming battle as on Tuesday “La Vecchia Signora” will be interfered in a tight tackle within the UEFA Champions League while the hosts will get an opportunity to excuse for the disappointing season by beating the reigning champion in face of their fans. Taking into consideration the mentioned above as well as teams’ effectiveness in attack in this season and the fact that both of them have scored in four out of five latest head-to-heads, it is quite probable that the clubs will sweep by the goals once again.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
